Vito Ventures

What is Vito Ventures?

Vito Ventures is a Munich-based venture capital firm founded in 2015 that specializes in seed and startup investments. With a keen focus on IT & TMT, Business Solutions, Energy, Logistics & Distribution, and Material Science sectors, Vito Ventures aims to identify and nurture innovative companies at the seed stage.

As a Venture Capital Fund, they work with a clear investment thesis that revolves around equity investments, committing to a minimum and maximum investment amount of 6,080,000 EUR. Their value proposition is built upon the foundation of propelling early-stage companies with the potential to disrupt their respective industries. Vito Ventures is a digital unit within the Viessmann family's grouping of businesses, which collectively pursues opportunities related to digital transformation and climate solutions.

They are part of VC/O, Viessmann's digital unit, which includes the Machine Room in Berlin—a platform for facilitating innovation among mid-sized German businesses and family enterprises.

Additionally, Vito Ventures is linked with WATTx, a company builder that turns ideas into robust startups in sectors such as Logistics, Manufacturing, and Industrial IoT. Through their sibling unit, Vito ONE, they invest in startups that make significant impacts within and beyond their industries, focusing on Prop Tech, Construction Tech, and Energy Tech.

Their mission extends to undertaking social and environmental responsibility, as evidenced by their commitment to sustainability and their pursuit of net-zero emissions. By pooling digital activities that fall outside Viessmann's core business under VC/O, they aim at diversification and future security in the face of challenges like climate change and digitization.
